2 tbsp vegetable oil

wholegrain bread rolls, lettuce, salsa, to serve

Method

Whizz the bread in a food processor to crumbs, tip into a bowl, then whizz half the sweetcorn until finely chopped. Add the chopped corn, remaining whole corn, tuna, cheese, spring onions and some seasoning into the bowl with the bread and mix well. Add the egg, bit by bit (you may not need it all), until the mixture is sticky enough to be shaped into four even-size burgers.

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, then cook the burgers for 5 mins on each side until golden and hot through the middle. Stuff into wholemeal buns with your favourite lettuce and a good dollop of salsa.

Comments, questions and tips

very tasty. Preparation took me 20 mins the 5 mins suggested is misleading. My tip would be to put 3 quarters of sweetcorn through blender & quarter of tin whole, they will hold their shape better

I made half this recipe and also substituted the burger bun for wholemeal pitta to make it more healthy. Worked really well but I also added sweet chilli sauce to the tuna mix. Was really filling and super tasty. Made a home-made tomato & pepper salsa to go inside the pitta and also served it with a carrot and sultana salad.
I will definitely be making again.

Even though my burgers disintegrated the moment I went to fry them I still think this is a great recipe and really quick and easy to do. I think the problem was that they were too wet so will try less egg next time. My children ended up eating it as a kind of hash with tomato relish but there was nothing left on their plates so I will definately do them again.

Really tasty burgers. Made half quantity which was enough for 2 large burgers and baked for 30 minutes at no. 6 instead of frying. Will def be making again.

Absolutely beautiful. I made two batches of these tuna burgers/fishcakes. Very easy to make and tastes delicious. We had long stem broccoli, asparagus and carrots with ours so no bread buns and it made a perfect meal.
Will definitely make them again.

Lovely lunch. Halved quantities but used whole egg and perfect consistency. Followed tip to firm up in freezer, and used half small onion as no spring onions in. Also added dash of balsamic vinegar. Very tasty and made 5 normal sized burgers - enough for 2 adults and a hungry toddler. Will definitely make again.

I haven't tried this recipe yet. Just wanted to say any recipe I find that needs bread crumbs I use rice cakes broken into crumbs in place of the bread crumbs to make it gluten free. It works just as well as bread.

Just had these for lunch. Very tasty, and the kids ate them with gusto! Only thing is they need very careful handling or they could break easy.
